3 Claims. 1

My invention relates to improvements in pin receptacles which are particularly adapted for use in beauty parlours as a convenient device for hair pins and other equipment used by operatives when dressing 2. lady's hair.

The objects of the invention are to provide one or a pair of trays which can be placed in a convenient position just below the level of a customers shoulders to accommodate pins, etc.; to so support the trays so that normal movement made by the customer while supporting said trays will not disturb the articles carried therein, and to provide a structure which can be placed in position without requiring any adjustment or fastening to hold it in position. A still further object is to provide a structur so designed that the trays are fully accessible from any operative position and are so supported as to cause no inconvenience to the wearer or the free use of her hands.

The invention contemplates a neck yoke supporting a pin tray at one or both of the fre ends of said yoke, as will be more fully described in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a general view of the invention supported on the shoulders of a lady customer.

In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

The numeral! indicates generally a yoke which is shaped to fit the neck of a person and having its free ends outwardly bent as at 2. To the free ends 2 of the neck yoke, trays 3 of any suitable size are secured, which are supported from the yoke to maintain a substantially horizontal position when in normal position as shown in Fig. 2.

It will be noticed that the trays 3 are supported above the wearers breasts and are therefore capabl of being supported in substantially level position irrespective of the difference in the body form of the customers on whom the devic is to be supported.

The disposition Of the trays in the above mentioned position enables the operator to stand in any position contiguous to her customer and be able to reach quite conveniently into either of the trays 3 for such devices as she needs, or to put down such pins, etc., as are removed from the customers hair.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. A pin receptacle comprising a neck yoke having a tray secured adjacent its free ends, said trays being so supported as to normally rest in substantially horizontal position between the arms of the wearer.

2. A pin receptacle comprising a neck yoke having a tray secured adjacent its free ends, said trays being so supported as to normally rest in a substantially horizontal position between the arms of the wearer and above the breasts.

3. A pin receptacle comprising a yoke adapted to extend around the back of the neck of a person and over the shoulders, the free ends of said neck yoke having a tray secured to each end, the free ends of said yoke being bent to support the trays in substantially horizontal position when in use.
